bluefunelement Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 just a suggestion for the iPhone - grab a hand held magnifying glass and hold the convex piece against the iPhone to get great closeups Link to comment

DAHNIC561 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Iets mod the LED's on my Sunpod because they suck... So i had 2 of these laying around they are 1w 470nm royal blue. So i put these in place of the two middle white ones...i have no electrical experience...but feel free to laugh... Ran the cords out of the white led switch since i never plan on using them anyway...
